I make! Pikachu hat edition

Here it is! This was the project I was supposed to finish last week, but couldn’t get it together to do so.

This was a prize for one of the jr. high girls who managed to finish reading the Gospels in the New Testament. I was originally going to make her a monster hat with teeth, as I am fond of those because it looks like the hat is eating your head. But, she’s a big fan of Pikachu. She’s probably Pikachu’s biggest fan. It was more fitting to make her a Pikachu hat.

The Pikachu hat is a flannel-lined fleece hat. The eyes, cheeks, and nose are appliqué. The mouth is embroidered. I did most of it free hand, so I don’t have a pattern for it. If you’re interested, I can give you the dimensions I used…but that’s about all I have. The hat is sized for an average teenage girl’s head according to this.

You can’t quite see it in the photo, but I managed to get the nose right where the hat comes to a point so the face looks a lot like how Pikachu is drawn. I was quite proud of myself.

Maybe one of my next projects should be making a hat stand so I don’t have to prop up hats on my water bottle.
